Running against the wind, week of 4/21~

[Veronica]

A beautiful morning run today for me - 2.2 miles again. It was 48 degrees out at 5:15 and a full or nearly full moon. We've got some clouds coming in so I got to watch the clouds and moon play hide and seek.

I'm running in a housing area just up the hill from me. It's a nearly flat, climbs 20 feet over the lap, nearly .5 mile loop. The first lap my breathing is a little raggedy and I'm wondering just how crazy I am. The beginning of the lap is really flat and I have a tailwind. As I turn the corner into the wind the road tilts ever so slightly upward. I enjoy the slight cooling effect of the wind. It's not blowing that hard. Turn the next corner and the road bumps up, a little hill. Then a nice little downhill, back to the beginning. It's on this downhill that I really get to enjoy the moon.

By lap 2 I'm into a nice groove, my breathing is nice and even and laps 3 and 4 go well. I wonder how long I'll be sore this time.

4.33 miles on the treadmill yesterday, after swimming. It was in the low 30's with 20 mph gusts, so I weenied out and ran indoors. I am SO done with winter... and it's supposed to snow again for the next few days. feh

Yesterday, I ran 4 miles outside at a sub 9 min pace. My leg doesn't hurt today.

I want to go for another run today. My Triathlon brain is chomping at the bit while my logical PT brain is saying "Don't even think about it!!" I'm feeling rather schizophrenic at the moment.
